City of London Investment Group plc: what insiders have been doing

City of London Investment Group plc is a Banks company. Its directors and officers file their transactions with RNS (LSE). 8 insiders have disclosed 9 filings since 30 October 2025.

On the market, 2 insiders bought (3 purchases totalling €85k) while 1 insider sold (1 sale totalling €178k). The net balance comes to €92k on the selling side. Buying on the open market means paying the going price with one's own funds, a different act from receiving shares as pay. Those buying include 1 board member and 1 chief executive. The largest single trade was a sale of €178k by 1) Deepranjan Agrawal 2) Michael Edmonds 3) Courtney Edmonds, published on 29 October 2026.

For context, the typical company on the same exchange (median of 832 companies) published 6 filings over the same period, against 9 filings here. Our records for City of London Investment Group plc go back to 2013, with 15 purchases and 9 sales on the open market in total.

Within a 30-day window, 2 purchases overlapped with buying by a second insider. When several insiders buy within a few weeks of each other, analysts speak of a cluster purchase. The last insider purchase was made public on 23 October 2026, 17 days ago. The median gap between trade and publication is zero days: most filings appear on the same day. For comparison, UK MAR gives managers three business days to notify a trade.

For comparison within the same sector, see the insider buying recorded at BAWAG Group AG and ASR Nederland N.V. These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by RNS (LSE). They describe what insiders did and are not a recommendation.
